Podcast #867 - AMD Stock Jump, Steam Controller, Don't Worry About 32GB for Windows 11, HOF lives!, DDR6, PCIe8, and MORE
Let me start off by saying that we should have made a "5309" reference, a miss on our part. AMD has a very good financial report, let the Josh take wash over you. Steam controller launches, sells out, and you probably don't have one. 32GB was the minimum. Then it wasn't. Microsoft, so…

Whoops! How did this get missed?! Is 12vHPWR really that bad? Why aren't you mad enough about DDR and SSD pricing?! Nvidia is BUYING ... well it's not HP. All that "Don't track me bro" stuff is for naught, Sony sells you less and you'll buy it, and Linux stops being able to be loaded on just…
more -
Podcast #863 - Ryzen 9950X3D2 Pricing, Raptor Lake Still Part of Intel Plan, Compress Your VRAM, Steam rates FPS + MORE!
Now Steam will rate your system for the expected FPS on a title, nice?! Raptor Lake (13th / 14th Gen) still a big part of the Intel strategy, Ryzen 9950X3D pricing, and hackers are probably in your router right now. Also fiber optic cables can be microphones. Your older Kindle is trash plus so…
